How this tool works
1 · Upload
Add a photo from your camera, phone, or computer. It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
2 · Reflect
Answer guided questions about who, what, where, when, and why — plus story, context, feeling, and ethics. Type or speak your answers.
3 · Caption
Get seven caption styles built from your own words: exhibition, editorial, personal, Instagram, NGO, gallery label, and photo essay. Edit freely — your original is always kept.
4 · Improve
The caption coach gives friendly feedback. The Learn section teaches caption craft with exercises.
Field mode
Works fully offline on phones and tablets. Everything saves locally and can be exported later as PDF, Word, text, Markdown, CSV, or JSON.
Privacy
No accounts. No tracking. No cloud. Your photos, answers, and captions live only in this browser until you export or delete them.
